The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. Spanning over 1.5 miles across the Golden Gate Strait, the bridge opened to vehicles in 1937 after four years of construction. The bridge today is an iconic symbol of industry and architecture, as well as a beloved monument to the City by the Bay. The Golden Gate Bridge connects San Francisco with Marin County and is open to vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians.
